Before I started living primally, I would never have thought to eat Plain yogurt. Now, I love the stuff! I generally eat Greek Gods yogurt, basically because it is made locally in Seattle, but from their website, I see that it is available nationwide. Great stuff! I love to make Tzatziki with it, or just add some garlic and scallions for a veggie dip. And of course, berries and yogurt is the best dessert. I haven’t really noticed a difference in “being” but now I am going to pay closer attention, since it is on my list to pick up this week.

I don’t know, Jonathan. I’m knew to this and my experience so far is that the probiotic supplements didn’t give me noticeable benefit while things like FAGE & sauerkraut have.

I have a question on the probiotic benefits of Fage. The two cultures it mentions are L. Bulgaricus and S. Thermophilus. The link you provided to Wikipidia lists these two cultures as having no known benefits. Are there other bacteria in the Fage or are there known benefits to these two, that wikipedia doesn’t mention?

@Arlo, you really need to just start making your own. It’s about 1,000 times cheaper to boot.

If you make these foods without modern equipment (like food processors) it’s a pretty damn good workout also.

Ever wonder why the women from way… back were a ton thinner than they are now? Well, I think it’s because they literally worked their asses off preparing food (+ better diet). Just my theory. Think it’s a stupid theory? Try it day in and day out. You’ll be singing a different tune.

My local grocery store has the FAGE total so I gave it a try. Wow! Great with berries. I bet it would be good in curries also.

FAGE rules. 15 g of protein with a great taste w/o any sugar. And ONLY get the total (full fat). This was one of the best new foods I discovered this past year. I went to a local wegmans and found they no longer sold the ‘total’ only the 2 and 0 percent. Damn food police. Give me my full fat. Anyway, I stop buying anything from them ever since.

I bet if you strain the whey (FAGE triple strains their yogurt) it would not only be just as fatty but more tasty as well. Michael Nutrition and Physical Regeneration

I noticed that today in Trader Joe’s when it comes to the single serving size. That seems to be the norm. It is very difficult to find full fat plain yogurt in a single serving size from any producer. While Whole Foods does carry the full fat plain FAGE in the single serving size, it is not so with the other brands.

However Trader Joe’s did have FAGE plain yogurt with honey, and the honey was not mixed in but in a separate tiny container of its own. So that is one way to get the plain yogurt but the only problem is that the amount of yogurt you get is 5.3 ounces versus the normal 7 ounces for the same price.
